Baby, it's about to get cold outside! Unseasonably low temperatures will grip the East Coast this week as northern states brace for SNOW

A cold blast is expected to descend on the East Coast by the end of this week, bringing unusually early fall snow to the Ohio Valley, upstate New York and Vermont.

Unseasonably low temperatures were recorded across the northern Plains and Midwest over the weekend as a dip in the jet stream continues to send in cold air.

A series of weak storm systems moving across heartland is expected to push the wintry weather east toward the Atlantic, creating the possibility of snow in northeastern states by Friday.

'A couple of disturbances tracking farther south around the end of the first week of November can bring the potential for some snowflakes all the way to the mid-Atlantic coast,' AccuWeather Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said.
